This information should be in the help file you get by typing the ? 
key.

When you find a page or a link that is interesting to you, hit A 
(lower or upper case).  Lynx asks you if you want to save the Document 
or the Link (D or L).  Usually you'll want to save the document (the 
page you are currently reading).  Lynx then displays the title of this 
document.  You can accept that or edit it.  Pressing Enter saves this 
title, along with its associated URL, into a file called 
lynx_bookmarks.html in your home directory.  

When you want to view your bookmarks and go to them, press the v key.  
If you want to remove a bookmark, go to the line you want to remove 
and press r.  There are also methods of maintaining multiple bookmark 
files, which may or may not be available on your system.

Since Lynx's bookmark files are pretty standard HTML, you can 
successfully use them in other web browsers.  I have Internet Explorer 
start with a copy of my Lynx bookmark file; this home page is what's 
most useful to me.

Hope this helps.
